When this appraisal helps
Contact Scott once your attorney can clarify the property, intended use, effective date and intended users. An appraisal addresses value; it does not determine how property should be divided.
What the work considers
The agreed scope guides the property research, observation and market analysis. Relevant property characteristics, condition, improvements and comparable sales help support the opinion of value.
Start with the right information
- Property address and ownership/access contact
- The valuation date requested by your attorney
- Relevant improvements and property information
- Any specific reporting requirements
From request to report
Send the property address and purpose. Scott reviews the assignment, discusses the fee and timing, and confirms access needs. Research and analysis follow before delivery of the report for its agreed intended use.
A question worth asking
Will the appraiser decide how the property is divided?
No. The appraisal addresses the value of the property. Your attorney can explain how that information applies to your situation.
How much does an appraisal cost?
The fee depends on the property, location and assignment requirements. Send the property address and purpose so Scott can review the scope and provide a quote.
How long will it take?
Scheduling and completion depend on the assignment and current availability. Mention any deadline when you contact Scott; timing is confirmed before work begins.
An appraisal is an opinion of property value. Your attorney, accountant, lender or other adviser should confirm requirements for your particular matter.
